It is ironic because I won multiple penmanship awards during school from elementary through high school. But then, my generation was where the huge technology boom was and we went to keyboards some of the time to 100% of the time.

I hate writing so much now, to the point where if the other party doesn't take correspondence over email/online, I'll just not do it. Writing birthday cards? My wife is doing it.

My writing is slowly improving and I want to get better. I have to mark up a lot of documents along with drawing red lines, site surveys, and commissioning. I make sure to slow down and write in a way that others can read it just in case I get hit by a bus. I notice a lot of the older people I work with have really nice handwriting. Probably comes from design work before CAD software was around.
